  • How close it is on each facet: question, method, data, results
  • What it shares with your project and what stays your own
  • What to do: cite it, set your project apart, contact the authors, hurry

Partial overlap

Both studies examine factors associated with outcomes of PD-1 blockade in melanoma using observational patient data. This paper evaluates tumour transcriptional states and disease control rather than antibiotic exposure, objective response and overall survival.

Glycolysis and interferon transcription in melanoma immunotherapy

What stays your own

The project's contribution remains its assessment of systemic antibiotic exposure around treatment initiation in a three-hospital cohort, with adjustment for clinical prognostic factors. Distinguish this clinical exposure analysis from transcriptomic biomarker studies, and avoid presenting either study as direct evidence that antibiotics impair treatment through the gut microbiome.

  1. Glycolysis and interferon transcription in melanoma immunotherapy Partial overlap Both studies examine factors associated with outcomes of PD-1 blockade in melanoma using observational patient data. This paper evaluates tumour transcriptional states and disease control rather than antibiotic exposure, objective response and overall survival.
  2. Antibiotics drive immunometabolic rewiring of human immune responses Partial overlap The paper shows that certain antibiotics can impair human T-cell activation and expansion, providing a potential biological explanation for an association between antibiotic exposure and poorer anti-PD-1 outcomes. It also suggests that antibiotic effects on immunity need not be mediated …

How it works

  1. Describe your project in a few paragraphs (question, method, data, expected results), or upload the PDF of your draft: an AI writes the description from it.
  2. At once, the papers of the last 3 years are searched on arXiv, in the journals and on OpenReview, with those that already cite your key references: you see what is already published close to your project.
  3. Every day, the new papers are compared with each facet of your project apart (question, method, data, results), and with the names that identify it. An AI reads the closest abstracts.
  4. When one overlaps your project, you get an email: a strong overlap (same question, same or very close approach) or a partial one, with how close it is on each facet.
  5. For each paper, the AI says what it shares with your project, what stays yours and what to do: cite it, set your project apart, contact the authors or publish soon. A strong overlap is compared with the full text of the paper when its license allows it.

Useful during a thesis or a long project, to know early that a competing team is close, cite it, and adjust how you present your work.
